According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Dental Imaging Market," The dental imaging market was valued at $6.4 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $14.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2023 to 2032.
The dental imaging market was negatively impacted during the lockdown period owing to a decrease in demand for dental imaging systems. In addition, decrease in a patient visit to the dental hospitals and clinics for diagnosis and treatment of dental; disorders due to pandemic further negatively impacted the market growth.
Rise in demand for more accurate and efficient diagnostic tools such as intraoral cameras in dental practices drives dental imaging market growth. Rise in digital technologies led to development of new imaging devices and software, which offer improved resolution, faster processing times, and greater ease of use is expected to drive the market growth led to development of new imaging devices and software, which offer improved resolution, faster processing times, and greater ease of use is expected to drive the market growth.Furthermore, the increase in prevalence of dental disorders such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer are driving the demand for dental imaging technologies which is expected to drive the market growth.
Growing demand for cosmetic industry as people are increasingly concerned about the appearance of their teeth and smiles which further support the market growth. Dental imaging technologies such as intraoral cameras, and 3D imaging systems are used in cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening, orthodontics, and dental implants. Thus, the rise in adoption of dental imaging procedure in cosmetic industry contributes towards the growth during dental imaging market forecast.
The growth of the dental imaging market is expected to be driven by high potential in untapped, emerging markets, due to availability of improved healthcare infrastructure, rise in prevalence of oral diseases such as oral cancer and tooth decay.
Increase in awareness among patients about the importance of maintaining good oral health led to an increase in demand for dental imaging technologies. Rise in awareness about benefits of early detection and prevention of dental disorders led to propels the market growth. Moreover, governments initiatives in various countries are taking initiatives to promote oral health and improve access to dental care which is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in U.S. developed the guidelines to promote the use of dental imaging technologies for the prevention and treatment of dental disorders. Such initiatives are expected to drive growth of dental imaging industry.
Significant advancements in dental imaging technology led to the development of advanced imaging system with improved image quality, and diagnostic accuracy has supported the market growth. For instance, cone-beam computed tomography uses a cone shaped beam of x-rays to produce high resolution 3D images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues. These advancements enable dentists to provide better care to their patients and increase the demand for dental imaging technology.
The demand for dental imaging is not only limited to developed countries but is also being witnessed in the developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, which fuel the growth of the market. Factors such as rise in adoption of extraoral imaging and intraoral imaging systems and increase in awareness toward early diagnosis and treatment, further drive the growth of the dental imaging market size.
However, the high cost of dental imaging equipment and procedures negatively impacted the market growth. Dental imaging technologies can be expensive, and the cost can be a major barrier for some dental practices and patients. In addition, there are also concerns around the potential health risks associated with repeated exposure to ionizing radiation from X-ray imaging. While dental X-rays are generally considered safe, the risks associated with radiation exposure can be a concern for some patients and healthcare professionals which may restrain market growth.
The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted workflows in the health care sector around the world. The delay in diagnosis and treatment of dental disorders during the pandemic had a significant impact on patient outcomes. Many dental practices were temporarily closed or had reduced capacity during the pandemic, leading to a decline in the demand for dental imaging technologies. In addition, patients may have hesitance to visit dental offices due to concerns about infection risk, leading to further decreases in demand. Many dental clinics and hospitals postponed non-urgent procedures during the pandemic, including dental imaging procedures. This led to a decrease in demand for dental imaging technologies. Thus, pandemic initially had a negative impact on the dental imaging market.
However, after the pandemic the dental practices adapted to the pandemic and implemented safety measures, and the demand for dental imaging technologies has started to recover. In addition, the pandemic has highlighted the importance of infection control measures in dental settings, which may lead to increase in adoption of technologies such as intraoral cameras and digital radiography that can help minimize patient contact and reduce the risk of infection which is contribute towards the growth during dental imaging market analysis.
